Customer Reviews:

hello, jazz...nice to meet you.......2004-08-01

two discs of some of the greatest music i've ever heard in my life. it's been playing at least twice a day (both discs) since i got it home. and i simply cannot listen to it without moving some part of my body to the rhythm. it's almost supernatural. i understand the term "bop" now...i never did before. it makes jack kerouac's writing a little more coherent.

a great compilation.......2001-12-21

looking back over the last year, i've had this in my rotation as much as all other hip hop, jazz, and rock combined. mostly that's disc 1 (disc two has both great and regrettable stuff on it). it's time for me to go back and fill in the holes, but if you're looking for a place to start, i think this collection is on the money.

Confirmation.......2000-06-09

This is a great recording. It displays a great array of music and really represents the talent of Charlie Parker

Really the best.......1999-05-02

The most beautiful selections from classic sessions of the late 40's and early 50's, including the Sept '49 Carnegie Hall concert (includes Ella) and one with Dave Lambert and Annie Ross from '53.

Not his best playing, but his widest range of playing.......1999-05-01

The dial and savoy sessions are smaller, shorter and more brilliant. But Norman Granz was committed to bring Charlie Parker to the world beyond bebop fans, and this album is the best of those efforts. From the Carib "My little suede shoes" to the small group bop "Blues for alice", "Au Privave" and "Confirmation" to the best of strings "Laura" and "April in Paris" to jam fests with Ella and Benny Carter and Coleman Hawkins, to the perfectly dreadful "Old Folks" this album gives you the full picture of the late charlie parker. Listen very carefully for Tony Aless on "Repetition" -- it's worth the effort!
